He frowns at that. "Really? I think that's just... silly. I don't think relying on others is a weakness. It takes somebody strong to be able to admit that they, themselves, have a flaw and, therefore, need to kind of, well, fill in the gaps using other people. Nobody's perfect, y'know, and to be able to finally admit that..." He trails off. "I don't know where I'd be without my friends. You only knew me briefly back then... but look how far I've come." He clenches a fist. "I never thought I'd get to this point, Kaiba, not in a million years."

"..." He blinks, surprised. "W- What?" Oh wow. Well that's definitely not the story he was expecting to hear. Yikes. "And what dragon was this? Are there anymore left? Aren't there a couple of dragon students here? Do they know about this? Seems kind of..." He makes a noise, seeming equally unhappy.

"This sounds all sorts of bad. For both sides, actually." Hm, so there are at least two dragons? "This is getting complicated..."

Yugi squeezes Kaiba's hand. "I'm sure you'll make her an offer she can't refused. She's not like those other dragons and you've already fought tooth and nail through many a tough battle. You're partners. Not enemies. Not master and servant. And we'll get through this too."
